Went to the pit today

Looks good beside it seems like you have a hobo problem. You need to address that real quick or he'll take up permanent residence.

I couldn't tell if it was a hobo or scarecrow.

When you lease a place out of state why would the people leasing it over the years give it up?

Priced out, quit hunting, got a better place, lack of whatever game you're hunting, or bad neighbors. Just off the top of my head.

No clue but there will be more ducks than there are here and I won't have to financially support the pos twra and their crooked arse minions.

Plus I won't have to put up with the dumbasses at gooch and springville bottoms
No swing shooters and one shot wonders.

I hate to say it but it wi effect in Missouri if a pit 100000 miles away shoots while you are working ducks they will leave. Thats why we quit leasing in Missouri and went back to Arkansas till all the ducks became extinct and we started back deer hunting

 

[Hawk]

Got a good sump pump?

 

[WilcoKen]

Got a good sump pump?

Very true. Cant stand water in the pit.

 

[RUGER]

Got a good sump pump?

Yeppers.
It has about 18" in it now. Buddy is bringing a trash pump to take care of it Sunday.

Gotta bilge pump we are gonna keep there for whatever gets in during the season.

I have hunted there as well just hope you have the birds to sky bust on and shoot at for sure.

 

[tickweed]

I have to wonder, with the Mississippi so low, how it will affect us.

 

[RUGER]

I'm a knee booting rookie but I think if you have water it could be a good thing.

 

[TnKen]

I always thought the dry years would be great if you had water. What I have observed for us, is less ducks. My thoughts is they don't stay in the area once they are shot out of the water holes they have.

Agreed. It's usually a murder opening day then pretty slow after that unless birds are coming in new to the area

I love reading about all the places y'all are bringing up. I grew up in Gosnell and know all those areas y'all are talking about. My brother farms all around there and leases out pits. He has waiting list for any that comes open but he doesn't have turn over much. He farms about 7K acres and those pits in rice fields are easy money.

Anything involving duck hunters is easy money! Most money-spending group of any hunters. They crazy!

 

[prstide]

Met and talked to the guy that lives on the land our pit is on.

Did he know there was a transvestite stripper living in his field or did you have to share that bad news?
